“Be yourself is such tripe advice...”


I’ve had tripe once or twice in menudo, but I’ve never had advice on the subject.

I have lost track of the number of times I posted a link to this 1961 short story or referenced Diana Moon Glampers, the US Handicapper General, in this classic Vonnegut short story, or rather a dystopia set in 2081. I last smelled that woman's penumbra when aspiring VP Kamala Harris made her statement on equal outcomes as a goal. Could General Glampers be a descendant?

Thank you, ‘tbw2’ for posting this Tamara Wilhite short, as I would not have read it otherwise. I’m going to look her up on Amazon to see her other efforts. IMHO, she has written a fine and CONTEMPORARY intro to how Harrison Bergeron could come about in 61 years! Excellent!
